Halle Berry has asked a judge to restore the former child custody agreement she had in place with ex-husband Olivier Martinez over their son Maceo.
Last week, the French actor filed legal documents in which he alleged the Oscar-winning actress had physically attacked their 12-year-old earlier in the month.
A Los Angeles County judge granted the Unfaithful star the order, requiring Berry to stay 100 yards (91 metres) from him until the next hearing on 16 October.
The Catwoman star denied the allegations, and on Monday, her lawyer filed documents in which they requested a 50/50 custody agreement originally set up in 2023 be reinstated.
In addition, Berry claimed Maceo can be "angry and combative" when he returns to her home after spending time with Martinez.
"When Maceo would come home from his custodial time with Olivier, he would be angry and combative. It took Maceo two to three days to acclimate to being at home, and when he would go back to Olivier, the cycle would start all over again," she alleged, according to court documents obtained by People. "I also perceived Maceo to repeat disputes that Olivier and I discuss in private and take Olivier's side/position in that dispute."

A UTMA custodial account requires no attorney, costs nothing to open, and lets married couples contribute $38,000 annually per grandchild without triggering gift-tax reporting.
VOO anchors the portfolio at 60-70% with a 0.03% expense ratio, while SCHG's 447% 10-year return earns it a 20-25% growth slice.
Custodial account funds legally become the grandchild's property at 18 or 21, so grandparents who want spending control should use a 529 instead.

Three tickers, one account per grandchild, and time on your side.

Gold can play a role in a diversified retirement portfolio, but it's generally better suited as a complement to stocks, bonds, and other investments than as a primary retirement ****** et.
Gold may help diversify a portfolio because it can perform differently from stocks and bonds under certain market conditions. But gold also has drawbacks, including lower long-term returns than stocks and, in the case of a gold IRA, potentially high storage and custodial fees.
How much gold belongs in your retirement portfolio depends on factors including your age, risk tolerance, time until retirement, and investment goals.
Gold can help diversify a retirement portfolio, but it shouldn't replace stocks, bonds, and other investments.

Vanguard Group agreed to acquire Altruist, a wealth technology and custody platform serving independent financial advisers, the companies announced Wednesday. The transaction is worth around $4 billion, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Altruist's platform combines a self-clearing brokerage with tools covering account opening, trading, portfolio management, billing, and reporting for independent wealth-management firms. The company competes with Charles Schwab and Fidelity Investments in providing custodial and administrative services to independent financial advisers, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Following the close of the deal, Altruist is expected to operate as a standalone business, retaining its leadership, brand, and distinct operating model, the companies said. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and is expected to close later this year. Financial terms were not disclosed by the companies.
Vanguard first invested in Altruist in 2020, according to the company. The acquisition advances Vanguard chief executive officer Salim Ramji's broader effort to diversify the firm's revenue streams beyond its low-fee index funds by building out a financial advice business. Vanguard itself plans to become an anchor client for parts of the Altruist platform.
"Altruist's mission to make financial advice more accessible, more affordable, and help advisers scale their practices, that very much rhymes with what we're trying to do here at Vanguard," Ramji said. "That's really how this acquisition was born."

UTMA custodial accounts irrevocably transfer to the grandchild at age 21, giving them full legal control to spend the money however they choose.
A 529 keeps the owner in control indefinitely and allows penalty-free beneficiary reassignments or a $35,000 Roth IRA rollover under SECURE 2.0.
California and a few states let donors extend UTMA control to age 25, but once the account opens, the termination age in the paperwork is locked.
Are you ahead, or behind on retirement? SmartAsset's free tool can match you with a financial advisor in minutes to help you answer that today. Each advisor has been carefully vetted, and must act in your best interests. Don't waste another minute; learn more here.
A custodial account opened for a grandchild under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act transfers to the beneficiary at the state's age of termination, typically 21. At that point, the new adult owner controls how the funds are spent, and the former custodian has no legal authority over the account. A 529 college savings plan operates differently, with the account owner retaining control indefinitely. The distinction between a UTMA custodial account and a 529 plan matters for grandparents evaluating how to structure gifts to minors.
